With NBA 2K21 MT Coins, lovers have three different editions of this game, each with a different star athlete on the cover. The Next-Gen Edition cover featured rising young star Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans. This leads to the NBA 2K22 cover star chances. One has to wonder whether the game will once again feature three cover celebrities including an All-Star about the Standard Edition, younger star on the Next Gen, and a legend on the other edition.

Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry is not a bad idea either predicated on his return to form in 2021. As of the report, he also leads the team with 31.4 points per game. Steph also has the Warriors looking at a potential return to the playoffs.

If 2K22 wishes to continue using Zion as their celebrity of the long run, he might even grace the normal Edition. LaMelo Ball could appear on the following Gen cover, with a celebrity such as Vince Carter on a Legend version. The NBA 2K22 cover celebrity has to help sell copies so name recognition with fans is frequently significant. That is why celebrities like LeBron James, Zion Williamson, and Luka Doncic might work best in that job for now. Having said that, Luka was rumored as EA's NBA Live cover star several seasons past, before Live was shelved for now.

This past year, things were shifted around a bit due to the coronavirus pandemic. That affected sports concerning seasons being placed on hold until they could safely play matches, and the NBA used a bubble website in Florida to resume their play and season. The NBA 2K21 game premiered on September 4, 2020, globally for PCs, Google Stadia, and regular variant consoles the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The Next Gen edition came months later when the consoles formally came out. It had a November 10, 2020, release date for Xbox Series X/S and 2 days later for the PlayStation 5.

It appears that regular and next-gen variations of the game should arrive around precisely the same time for the NBA 2K22 launch date in 2021. For reference, NBA 2K20 needed a release date of September 6, 2019, and NBA 2K19 came out globally on September 11, 2018. The NBA 2K18 game had a release date later in the month, as it arrived on the 19th. Dependent on the launch dates, we believe that NBA 2K22 should come out over the first 3 months of September 2021. We are hoping for earlier in that month rather than afterwards, though. According to the past several releases, the match dropped in that very first week of September.2K will be attracting fans updates regarding the upcoming game once the NBA season has now concluded. So stay tuned as we look forward to another exciting launch in the 2K family of basketball games.
